Chaos was the law of Nature;
Order was the dream of man.
~Henry Adams

When you've spent your entire life believing every choice your parents make for you is the right one, breaking out of their control might be harder than anticipated. 

Tricia Diabene is a perfectionist who wants nothing but to make her parents proud of her. She goes the extra-mile to achieve perfect grades and perfection in literally everything she does. She believes it is the only way to match up to her high-standard parents and impress them. 
What happens when she discovers that her aims and her parents' are completely different? Does Tricia turn her back on her family, or buries her desires in order to keep being their trophy child? 

Finding out your father cheated on your mother is a hard pill to swallow. Being uprooted from your home in London to an unfamiliar life in Accra would turn any good-natured teenage boy spiteful and a little rebellious. But having to put up with a manipulative arsehole stepbrother?

That's where David Ampofo draws the line. 

David can't stand Adam for the life of him, either at school or at home. He prefers pretending his stepbrother doesn't exist, for the most part. Living at home is practically a prison sentence, and he finds joy in watching Formula One races, playing with microelectronics kits -and winning over his crush, Tricia Diabene. 

As Tricia's life slowly unravels when she's faced with life altering decisions, David is forced to confront the fact that you can't live with a hate-filled heart forever. When personas crack and paradigms are shifted with crushing hard-truths, will they be enough continue to be enough for each other? 

Or will they find what lies beneath the surface too repulsive and overwhelming to continue together?All Rights Reserved

A Love Worth Waiting For by supersweetlollipop

[⚠ UNDER MAJOR EDITING ⚠] "W-why did you leave me?" I asked tears streaming down my face. "I'm sorry! I had to! I had no choice!" "Do you have any idea on what I went through?! At least he was there to help me!" "Please, just give me another chance!" He pleaded. Hurt, pain, guilt. I could see it all in his eyes. "Aren't we friends?" We both asked What happened to us? What happened to the joy and love I felt when he was there?! I wish I could just go back to the past, though I can't do that. "I don't know" I finally said as I turned away from him. Finally leaving him. ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ Meet Chloe! She's a happy, enthusiastic and funny girl. She always wore a smile! Though that was her before. She is now an introvert.

We're Not Related Anymore... by ElizaJGrant

In which two ex-step-siblings reconnect after just about blowing up their family the first time around... Three years ago, Maddie fell hard for Jacob Isaacs, the smartest boy in her school. The only problem was this: Her dad had quite literally gotten engaged to his mother. The two tried to dampen the flames of their burgeoning attraction for each other but not before they got caught and were the talk of the town for months. After the fall out, Maddie moved away to try and start her life over and not be known as the girl who got caught doing it with her 'brother' at prom. She hasn't seen her family in ages and intends to keep things that way. Jacob, on the other hand, has worked hard to accomplish everything he's ever dreamed of. He's stayed close to home, done exceptionally well at school, and is adored by just about everyone who meets him. There's only one problem: There's a Maddie-shaped hole where his heart used to be. But no matter how hard he tries to reach out and find her, he can't. She won't let him. He let her down and gave up on them when she needed him most. And she's not ready to forgive and forget. But then Maddie's dad passes and she's forced to come home for his funeral. It should be a quick visit. She intends to make it one. But Jacob has other plans. He let his girl slip through his fingers once and he won't let that happen again. So now he has to convince her to give him one more chance. After all, they're not related to each other anymore.

Life after Death: The Afterlife of Hezekiah Chamblee by JayDEvers

After being killed execution-style by his own family, a young man settles in an alternative afterlife and learns how to live. **************** On the day he graduated from high school, Hezekiah Chamblee was killed by his parents all because he wasn't meant to be a part of their American Dream and that he was a product of rape. Shortly after entering into the void between life and death, he is surprised to learn that he was not meant for heaven or hell and he wasn't meant to return to Earth. He is then sent to a simulated world known as "Nexus," where people like him were sent here and that they view an alternate timeline where they don't exist on Earth. It is there that Hezekiah not only views a timeline where he doesn't exist but also meets other teenagers and young adults like him, reunites with a crush from his old life (they being close friends back then), encounters with a sly femme fatale with wicked intentions, and learns about his true origin by both God and Lucifer (the deities being brothers themselves). Meanwhile in the land of the living, word of his death would trigger a butterfly effect that would unleash scandals, change lives, and have one of Hezekiah's younger twin brothers expose the family secrets before the family would completely come to ruin. Follow this story alongside Hezekiah Chamblee as he undergoes dynamic paradigm shifts about himself while learning to finally use his voice as his family's forbidden desires would bring them to their downfall. "What's done in the dark would soon be brought into the light. And what was said in whispers would be shouted loud from the rooftops."

Money, wealth, fame, power, these teens have it all, but all that glitters Is not gold. **** Denise would have never imagined that was what happened to her twelve years ago. Now, twelve years later, she is faced with the bitter truth. This truth uprooted her entire life, as she knew it. Denise, a 16-year ago, living in the slums Of Lagos Nigeria, knew that there was no reason to dream in this world, not when you were living in a country like Nigeria, so bleak and hopeless. So she never hoped, she never tried to dream. All she wanted was a good-paying job to help her sister out of poverty. But when reality came knocking, Denise's simple life spiraled out of control. This newfound truth will thrust her into a totally new and different world from what she knew or was accustomed to. She is thrust into a world she is underprepared for. A world of wealth, fame, and glamour. But not all that glitters is gold. Denise found herself in the midst of drama like never before. With a twin sister who is hell-bent on hating her, a family full of love and lies, mystery and conspiracy behind her kidnap, a new school full of snobby rich teens, ridiculous drama, bullying, and a SERIAL KILLER on the loose. Death, danger, glamour, wealth, power and fame. They were all intertwined. How would Denise survive in a world that doesn't accept failure? How would Denise survive the danger of her new world poses?

To All the Sins You Couldn't Commit by whoscountinganyway

"If I could pick anyone in the entire world, in the entire world, Will, I'd still choose you." *** William Nile has always felt a lack of control in his life. His head's clustered and the past likes to eat at his thoughts. Isolation is a synonym for safety and staying neutral is a key ingredient for survival. He's always felt more put together when he was a mess; always felt like the world was clearer in the dark. He can't help it, this is just how it's always been. Then comes along a new foster family who throws him for a loop. They're exactly who they say they are, exactly who they act to be. With that comes a goofy boy named Clement and his best friends, annoying twins who laugh loudly- -good luck telling Jude and Demi apart- -and a girl named Minnie who has a god complex. Will knew from the day he arrived that he needs to focus on acting the way his foster moms want, on getting good grades, at playing soccer well and making sure that for once, he doesn't mess up. He knows he doesn't want to lose these friends, knows he wants to feel wanted and needed and understood. Because here, there is more focus on his mental health than there is on if he's acting the 'right' way. Here, there is room for growth and change past a foster parent's ideal child. Here, there's no room for entertaining the idea of him with a pretty boy who has a witty smile and a loud laugh. On that last note, he has no idea what to do (and Will is someone who likes to plan ahead). *** A coming of age story.

The American (BWWM) by mss_amalee

"What?" Ethan says in his all too familiar deep, rude voice. Ethan has pitch-black hair, is 6 feet tall, with a solid build. His deep grey eyes are glaring at me right now. His jawline is so sharp I'm sure it can cut through anything. "You hit me, spilling my coffee all over me," I say, pointing out the obvious. "So, what do you want me to do about it?" he asks, like he's done nothing wrong. "You're supposed to say sorry," I say in a duh tone. "And why should I?" "Because that's what people with manners do." "I know that, but you don't deserve a sorry from me." "Wow. And why is that?" "Because black bitches like you don't deserve it," he says with a sneer. "I have told you times without number to stop calling me that," I say, angry at his insults. "Make me," Ethan says, taking a dangerous step closer. I don't say anything but hiss and walk past him. I don't know why I expected him to apologize. It's Ethan, after all. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethan is a young male about to get his first degree, he might look normal to the world, but don't we all have our demons inside. Ethan has a problem that he feels hatred is the best way to cure it, but one lady proves him wrong. Adina is a beautiful young girl who is also about to get her first degree at the same university as Ethan. Adina is full of life and dislikes anyone who thinks they can bully her. Ethan is hell-bent on bringing hell down on Adina, and she is determined to shove it up all the way into his ass. They are both opposites, but they say opposites attract one other. What happens when a significant incident changes all that. How do these two different people deal with a feeling that is supposed to be forbidden to feel for each other?
